McGhee admits he’s a fan of Polish pair Artur Boruc, the former Celtic favourite now at
Southampton, and Arsenal’s Wojciech Szczesny. He said: “I’d take those two but I wouldn’t swap either of our keepers for them.”

McGhee’s been blown away by Marshall’s shot-stopping for Cardiff this season, although it’s not been
enough to dislodge Hull counterpart McGregor.

He
said: “Allan’s been fantastic. When we arrived in this job the feeling was probably Marsh was here to support him. That’s changed in a year. Marsh is now here to genuinely challenge Allan. And that’s not even mentioning Matt Gilks. He’s done alright too.

“Marsh has become a serious contender. But my opinion is something would have to go wrong for Allan to be displaced.

“Gordon Strachan has a decision to make. But Allan is holding Marsh at bay a bit because of his performances.”

With
McGregor almost certain to be given the nod in Poland, the clash is billed as a dress rehearsal for the Euro 2016 qualifiers.

But McGhee said: “No matter the performance or result, when they run out in October it’s a clean slate.”
